MIKE KEEGAN: Ivan Toney will head to the US with England for the World Cup despite remaining on bail in connection with an alleged assault in a London club. Toney has not been charged by police. Met Police have confirmed to Inside Sport that the investigation into the December incident‚ which left a man in hospital‚ remains ongoing. At the time‚ it had been suggested that the former Brentford striker‚ currently plying his trade in Saudi Arabia‚ may have believed he was the target of a theft‚ given he was wearing jewellery and an expensive watch.

Arsenal's heartbroken stars were seen trudging out of their hotel in Budapest on Sunday morning‚ hours after their brutal Champions League final defeat by PSG. The Gunners suffered the pain of losing on penalties after Eberechi Eze and Gabriel both missed the target. Gabriel's effort‚ which he blazed over the bar‚ was the attempt that sealed PSG's second successive victory in the tournament and the Brazilian looked at the ground as he headed towards the team bus on Sunday morning.

It's a battle of ideologies between Arteta and Luis Enrique‚ with the Gunners being known for their defensive prowess‚ compared to Les Parisiens' fierce attacking style. The likes of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes will unenviably be tasked with keeping the likes of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia‚ Ousmane Dembele ‚ and Desire Doue quiet. An unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. Both teams are stacked with talent‚ not just in their stronger areas of the pitch‚ but across the whole of it. And the stats boffins at Sofascore have run the numbers to see which of those players make a combined XI from the finalists.

Daily Mail Sport reported last month that Arsenal have a serious interest in the Atletico Madrid star‚ with staff gathering data on the Argentine since January to assess whether he would fit the team's profile. The data collected - which included his injury record‚ physiological numbers and playing output - emphatically suggested he would fit the requirements of Mikel Arteta's side‚ with Arsenal keen to sign him this summer. It is understood a huge fee would be demanded if the forward was to move‚ but‚ according to Spanish publication Marca‚ Madrid are not entertaining talks at the moment.

The curtain has now closed on the 2025-26 Premier League season‚ with Arsenal pipping Manchester City to the title‚ Tottenham surviving on the final day and Sunderland staging an impressive late surge to qualify for the Europa League. The 'Team of the Season' debate is often one which dominates discussion at the end of a campaign‚ with fans‚ pundits and ex-players all keen to give the performers they viewed as best their flowers. Sky Sports pundits Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville picked an almost identical best XI on the final Monday Night Football of the season last week‚ with the inclusion of Igor Thiago over Jeremy Doku proving the only difference between them.

Southampton have finally broken their silence after the club was sensationally kicked out of the Championship Play-Off Final for spying on Middlesbrough. Tonda Eckert's side were expelled by an independent disciplinary commission on Tuesday‚ after Daily Mail Sport revealed that the Saints had sent a junior analyst intern to watch Boro's training 48 hours before their meeting in the semi-final. In the statement‚ Southampton admits to having spied on their opponents‚ but have argued against their harsh punishment‚ which puts Premier League promotion out of reach for another year.

It is understood that Santos had made the decision to substitute Gonzalo Escobar‚ with Robinho Jr on in his place in the second-half.

Germany's home strip pays tribute to their 1990 and 2014 designs‚ which might make for troubling reading for England fans‚ because they won the tournament in those years. England's largely monochrome home shirt‚ meanwhile‚ looks clean‚ but loses some personality in shedding the blue highlights of 2022. At least it will reflect heat well. The red away kit lends more prominence to the lion design‚ though the big cats look less-than-threatening with their tongues out.

Middlesbrough have publicly stated they want Southampton to be 'prevented from participating in the EFL Championship play-off final' over the 'Spygate' scandal. Boro's bombshell statement‚ released on Friday‚ says kicking Saints out is the 'only appropriate response' over an issue that 'goes to the heart of sporting integrity and fair competition'. As revealed by Daily Mail Sport last Thursday‚ a Southampton first-team analyst was caught allegedly filming Middlesbrough's training from behind a tree ahead of Saturday's play-off semi-final first leg‚ which ended goalless. On Friday night‚ the EFL charged the south coast club with a breach of their rules.

Though the era was deemed a somewhat golden generation‚ they failed to win a single trophy in the period‚ which also included the failure to qualify for Euro 2008 and a group stage exit at the 2014 World Cup.

Since‚ it has emerged that the reason was because they didn't all get on. It is understood that club rivalries got in the way - something that is now a thing of the past.

CHRIS WHEELER AT THE STADIUM OF LIGHT: United haven't produced many bad performances under Michael Carrick‚ but this was one of them as a team showing five changes from last weekend laboured against a spirited Sunderland side who hit the post through Brian Brobbey and were frustrated by goalkeeper Senne Lammens. In fact‚ United didn't manage a single shot on target until the third minute of injury-time when Matheus Cunha's effort was blocked by Robin Roefs at close-range‚ which is a damning indictment on a team still packed with expensive‚ attacking talent.

TOM COLLOMOSSE AT VILLA PARK: One more win. One more win to turn a wonderful era for Aston Villa into one that will be remembered for ever. There was pressure here‚ all right. If Nottingham Forest had prevailed‚ Villa players‚ fans and even Unai Emery himself would have been questioning everything they had done. Not now. Not now Villa are so close to the Europa League title‚ which would be the fifth of Emery's career. How fitting it was that John McGinn‚ who joined this club when they were in the Championship‚ should score twice and produce a barnstorming performance just when it was needed. He has remained while players have come and gone and if he were to lift the trophy against Freiburg in the Final in Istanbul next month‚ his status as a Villa great would be assured. McGinn's late double secured the result after earlier goals from Ollie Watkins and Emi Buendia - from the penalty spot - had given them the edge.

While Ronaldo is by far the bigger name - one of global phenomenon as more than just a footballer - Fernandes is now equal. Equal in terms of on-field success at United by the way of goal contributions. His assist for Benjamin Sesko against Everton on Monday night saw Fernandes clock his 140th goal or assist or the club in the Premier League ‚ which is the same as Ronaldo. And‚ perhaps surprisingly‚ he did it in 10 fewer games‚ and will now almost certainly fly past his international colleague. But who is the bigger United legend? How do the two careers - albeit of difference lengths - compare? Daily Mail Sport takes a closer look.

Arsenal's set-piece practices are routinely attributed to the dark arts. A brawl in the box‚ some would conclude. Diego Simeone's manual of deviousness‚ though‚ is a different level of chicanery. He is a pioneer of the craft‚ tracing back to his playing days. Just ask David Beckham‚ who was on the end of his antics at the 1998 World Cup‚ sent off for kicking the Argentina midfielder; Simeone later said he simulated an injury to get Beckham sent off. This sort of outlook is why Arsenal must be on red alert for a hostile battle in Atletico Madrid's backyard for Wednesday night's Champions League semi-final first leg‚ which will test as much about their mental fortitude‚ as their playing abilities.

To follow this bountiful banquet between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich‚ which may well go down as one of the greatest European games of all time once we have the time to catch our breath‚ is almost like a couple of atoms trying to upstage the Big Bang.
